UPDATE: SkyTrain breaks down again

SkyTrain service is returning to normal. Bus shuttles that were operating between Waterfront and Edmonds stations will be winding down service accordingly. Continue to expect delays.

This could be bad news for anyone heading downtown for tonight’s Shania Twain concert but concert promoters have apparently told Translink they will delay the start of the show until most people arrive.

Expo Line SkyTrain service has been halted between Edmonds and Waterfront stations.

TransLink’s Anne Drennan says the cause is not known.

“At this point, no, it’s just too early to say, but the engineers and the technicians are all on scene and are working on it.”

Service has been disrupted from Royal Oak to Waterfront, but Millennium Line trains are still running between Edmonds and King George, as well as Edmonds to VCC-Clark.

Riders needing to make alternate arrangements are being told to consult Translink’s Trip Planner services online.

Joe, it’s a lot different up in Duncan than it is in Metro Vancouver. Yes, cars break down. However, you could have the best driver, the best executives and a poor operation and maintenance program that just disappoints the driver.

We’ve seen break downs, we’ve heard excuses, and we have not seen results.

Manitoba Joe! The TransLink’s system suck’s! Your Radical Right government, you know the one with blood on its hands! They appointed the board of Translink and ran it into the ground to make it ripe to privatize! GO NDP GO
